Please Please Listen!! Yesterday evening Mikki started acting very tired and was shaking. I gave her some Nutrical and thought she was better. Well, this morning she was not better so I called my vet. Thankfully he was willing to meet us even though his office was closed. Mikki has an infection and needed antibiotics. She was shaking because she had fever. But this is where I am going with this. PLEASE PLEASE take your babies to the vet if they are not acting right!!! In less than 24 hours she was so sick and partially dehydrated! If she doesnt get fluids in her she has to do an IV. These pups are so little and can go down fast! So please take them in! Please say a prayer for my Mikki. :( We are hoping she bounces back soon. |
OMG poor Mikki :(. That sounds awful, I'm so glad you got her in as fast as you did. I'll keep Mikki in my thoughts |
Praying for Mikki and her mommy. Hope she is feeling better soon!! |
Oh, I know what you mean about early vetting. The first sign Tibbe is not himself, we are at the vet. It's just far easier on all that way. Poor little Mikki - I pray that your early intervention will catch that infection before it had time to get too much of a blood level & the antibiotics are working as we speak. Did the vet know what the source of the infection was? A UTI, bad tooth, ear? Please keep us updated on that sweet "little sister" & I will be praying she is much better by tomorow. Try not to worry - you took her in ASAP. |
Yep they go down fast. One time Daisy had vomited and had diarrhea and with her that's always a bad thing and within a few hours she was dehydrated and admitted for IV fluids and other medical attention. It isn't worth it to wait, they get sicker and the bill gets higher. Prayers for Mikki, I'm glad you got her in fast. Hugs! |
I am right there with you Rhonda!! If they are not acting right it is always better to go on in. Waiting is not an option!!! I am praying the shot and antibiotics kick in and get that infection cleared up. I know you are pushing those fluids so I hope that works so she doesn't have to go in for an IV. |
There are soo many "other things" that can be wrong, and with these Yorkies and their propensity for low blood sugar, we often automatically assume that lethargy and shaking/shivering/tremors, unsteady gait, etc is from hypoglycemia...we give the NutriCal and if the symptoms disappear, we have solved the problem....many times, it is something else going on, that has perhaps lowered the blood sugar....rather than being the problem, the low blood sugar was a symptom secondary to something else. AND OF COURSE, IT ALWAYS HAPPENS ON A HOLIDAY OR WEEKEND OR MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!!! When I did have a baby running around here that had issues with low blood sugar, anytime he had symptoms, I always gave the NutriCal first and then went straight to the vet, just to be sure there was nothing else going on! I am so happy for little Mikki that you were able to get her to her vet today! Keep us posted on her respnse to treatment! |

Sending prayers for mikki. When it rains it pours. Hoping your son is doing much better also |
Please keep us updated on Mikki's progress. We'll all be thinking of her. |
Awww, sending get well thoughts for Mikki. Thank goodness you got her to the vet quickly, they can go downhill SO quickly. I hope that more folks will listen about going to the vet, everyone seems to want an "internet cure":rolleyes: that could cost their baby it's life:( Yes, pets and kids always get sick/injured on holidays and weekends:p |
Sending prayers for Mikki girl. You are so right, Rhonda. It\'s best to take them in. I hope she\'s back to her self in no time. |
I just pray that others get the message here. :( I couldn\'t believe how quickly she went from being fine to almost needing IV fluids. I am having to give her fluids by syringe right now. That was the only way he would let me take her. :( What they need to understand is it is not ok to come on here and ask advice for a week. :( It just may be too late. And like Cathy said, the bill is only going to get higher as they get worse. |
Something else I learned from all this. I got Mikki in July. Every one here knows that Rosie is my baby. My total love and sweetheart. I always thought Mikki was a daddy\'s girl. Boy she wanted momma being sick!! But I learned how much she too has stolen my heart and how much I love her!! Oh, and I found out that Rosie is totally jealous of momma babying Mikki!!! :p |
Poor baby! Hopefully she will feel better soon. I\'m right there with you. A few years back Cooper\'s throat was bothering him I didn\'t take him to the vet as fast as I should have. He has a very high temperature and I was shocked when I got there! Thanks for posting this as a reminder for everyone. |
Wishing Mikki a very speedy and uncomplicated recovery! You are so right about addressing issues right away -- Last fall Cali had diarrhea & vomiting one evening - got to the vet the next day - 5 day of fluids and many tests in the doggie hospital! Just turned out to be an intestinal virus. These little pups can go down soooo fast it seems. |
I\'m so very happy you were able to get her seen promptly. Is she still running a fever? I\'m with you on prompt vet attention. Fevers in dogs of any size IMHO are a red emergency. With female dogs that is sometimes the only sign you get for something called stump pyometra - although rare it does happen to spayed females. Prayers going out for you and your gal. |
i hope your little feels better soon. yes, agree..... any sign of trouble , to the vet we go. thankfully it is only 2 minutes from my house. i dont take chances with my babies lives.. |
I have a 4 1/2 mo old FM Yorkie Gidget, I was getting ready to go to work one morning and she went potty and the first stool was ok then the second one was dieriea with blood. I had her to an ER doctor with in 2 hours. They said it was from giving her treats, I thought that I had purchased good treats then I went to the cubbard and looked and the ingriedents was nothing but bi priducts! The ER tested her for ParvO and put liquid under her skin for dehydration. She tested negative for parvo but the bottom line here is be very careful of what you feed your little ones. My vet also advises against doggie parks for little dogs. Lots of dieseses. Gidget tested posative for Colitus, Instional infection and was put on antiobitics. I now feed her food that includes rice. |
Oh my gosh how scary. I don\'t wait at all, I know they can\'t speak and if they aren\'t acting normal it means somethings wrong, get to a vet. I am so glad she is ok! They always go to Momma when somethings wrong! |
Glad she is doing better. Sending prayers for little Mikki. You can add chicken broth on her chicken & kibble, too, in order to up her fluid intake, but I\'m sure you already knew that. |
Sending well wishes to Mikki and praying for a speedy recovery... |
Poor baby...sending prayers she feels better soon! Zhoie sends hugs to Mikki. |
Good thoughts and prayers for Mikki. That was really smart to get her in right away especially with those limited symptoms I dont think most would think of dehydration happening |
Well, we are now cutting back on her food. She has since thrown up. :(:( So I am going to continue with fluids and try food later this evening. Hoping it is from the meds and nothing else. :( If she is not better, the vet wants to see her again in the morning. :(:( |
